COOKING RANGE AND STIOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 282,263, dated July 31,1883,

i Application filed March 16, 1883. (No model.) i

.To @ZZ whom it may concern: Be it known that I, PETER BRAKE, of the pcity of Toronto,'in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario,Canada, have invented 5 certain new and useful Improvements in CookingRanges and Stoves 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, whereby others skilled inthe art may make and use'the same, reference being had to the drawingsforming a part of this speciiication. Myinvention relates toV that classof cooking ranges and stoves-provided with a water-tank located in aspecial chamber attached to and forminga part ofthe range or.stove.

The'invention has for its object the saving of fuel and the obtaining ofa more perfect action of the oven, and also of the water-tank therein. yl In the ordinary cooking-range the upright plate forming the partitionbetween the range proper and the water-'tank is cut away abouttwo-thirds of its surface,- exposing this much of the tank-surface tothe flame as it comes from over the oven.

face which can be obtained from this mode of construction. The action ofthe iiame thereon isas follows: The flame in leaving the furnace passesover the crown of the oven, and thence through the aforesaid orifice inthe partitionplate, and acts upon the exposed surface of the water-tankdirectly at the back of the said orice, and returns back under the ovenand heats the bottom thereof, and thence passes to the chimney. l VItwill be observed that the active flame acts only on the exposed' surfaceof the tank; that the other spaces around and partially under the tankare filled `with inactive heated air, which is nearly non-productive ofany effect in the heating of the water therein. In the accompanyingdrawings, Figure I is a sectional side elevation of my cooking-rangethrough the center of the stove. Fig. 2 is a 4 5 `transverse sectionalelevation through the line a b. Fig. 3 is a plan, partly in section,with the "`-`cover removed to show the arrangement ofthe lines from thefurnace to the chimney. Fig.

4L isa transverse sectional elevation, showing 5o the descending andascending lines. Fig. 5 is This area of heating-` surface is the fullextent of direct heating sura plan of the tank-seat. Fig. 6 is also aplan Y of the tank-seat turned over to show the side walls of the flueN. Fig. 7 is an end view of the tank-seat7 showing side walls, n n", anddi-` version-plates n* a5 of nue N. 55

My improvements consist inthe application and arrangement of certainilues and dampers not hitherto used in cooking-ranges,which receive theflame from the crownof the o ven and lead it so as to nearly surroundthe entire surface of the sides, ends, and bottom of the tank with adirect active iiame, acting, iirst, on the side of the tank next to thepartitionplate; secondly, on both ends, thirdly, on the rear sidethereof, when it is drawn downward by a flue placed in the tank-seat,through which it passes and spreads over the bottoni of the tank andheats the same, Vand thence through the partition-plate and oven-iluesto the chimney, hereinafter more fully described.

A represents the furnace of iny'cookingrange; B, the oven 5 C, thewater-tank; D, nue above the oven;l E, the downward flue to the bottomofthe oven 5 F, the flue belowthe oven, and f a partition-plate;` andG,the return-flue leading to the ascending flue H and short flue I,which connects with the chimney; I?, a side damper for direct draft fromfurnace to chimney; J, the main.partition-plate separating therange'proper from the tank-chamber; K, an inlet-damper, which acts on anoriiice, k, in and near to the top of partition-plate5 k2 la, endrpieces at damper K, for preventing the Vflame from passing down the flueE; L L L L, a iiue surrounding the tank C, M, a tank-seat on which thetank is placed, having a flue, N,` therein, O, an outlet-damperconnecting the iiue N with the flue E, a', opening in tankseat; n n2 n,side walls of flue N 5 a* a, diversion-plates for spreading the flame.9o

Referring to Fig. 3, it will be 4observed that a portion of the crown ofthe oven has been removed, and also a portion of the sole thereof, toshow a portion of the flue F, partition-plate f', and the return-line G,all below the oven. The inlet-damper K, with orice k', end pieces, k27a2, outlet-damper O, with orifice o', the tank-seat M, with flue N,constitute the chief features of my invention.

The operation of the vrange when the tank 10c is shut off is as follows:The ilame,on leaving the furnace A,passes t-hrough the ue D above theoven, and passes down the flue E to the bottom iiue, F, and passesonward to the front end of the oven, and turns round the partitionplatej", and is then kno wn as the return-flue 7 G, and continues its courseto the back end of the stove, and joins the ascending iiue H, in whichit rises and enters the short flue I above the oven,which connects withthe chimney.

The operation of the range, in connection with the tank, is as follows:The flame, on leaving the furnace A, passes through the flue D above theoven, and, passing through the opened damper K, it enters thetank-chamber and surrounds the tank C'. It is then drawn down the flueNin tank-seat M and `heats the bottom of the tank, and thence, passingthrough the opened outlet-damper O,enters the iiue E immediately abovethe flue F, and,after passing through the ues F, G, H, and I, goes intothe chimney.`

When it is desired to use the oven for eX- pedition, it is onlynecessary to shut the dampers K and O, when the whole heating-power ofthe furnace is conserved for baking purposes.

Vhen the range/is required for cooking. only,the damper P isopened,which gives the full heating-power of the furnace for generalpurposes on the top of the range.

Having thus described my invention, I claiml. In a cooking range orstove `provided with a water-tank in the rear end thereof, theinlet-damper K, with orifice k', and end pieces, k2 k2, in combinationwith the outlet-damper O, with orice o', each located, as shown, in thepartition-plate J, and operating as set forth. y

2. In combination with the dampers K and O and end pieces, kt k2, atank-seat, M, with the flue N in the rear thereof, and returning belowthe'bottom of the tank-and heating the same, thence passing through theoutlet-damper O and connecting with the flue E, as shown and described,and operating as set forth.

3. In combination with the dampers K and O, a tank-seat, M, with flue Nin the rear thereof, and returning below the bottom of the tank andheating the same, thence passing through the outlet-damper O andconnecting with the iue E, as shown and described, the ue N, withopening n', vbeing adjusted to suit a range or stove with return orsingle flues, as may be required.
